IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

 

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is committed first and foremost to keeping youth safe. Part of that commitment includes continually updating our youth protection policies to help ensure we are always on the forefront of youth safety. 

As you know, one of the BSA’s many barriers to abuse is a mandatory criminal background check during the adult volunteer application process. The BSA will now also perform periodic rechecks of criminal backgrounds to support the continued safety of youth in our programs. 

Please complete the process listed below with your units recharter to help us continue to provide the safest environment possible for our Scouts and leaders. Please note that these steps must be completed before your 2020 annual registration can be processed. 

 

1. Review the separate disclosure document linked below that is being provided to you separately for your review. It is titled “Background Check Disclosure.”

 

2. Once you have reviewed that, print the separate document titled “Additional Disclosures & Background Check Authorization.” Review the additional disclosures on that form, then complete and sign the Authorization using an ink/wet signature. Note: A print signature is required for this document. Electronic signatures will not be accepted. 

 

3. Turn in the signed “Additional Disclosures & Background Check Authorization” form promptly to your unit leader to be included with your units recharter paper work. This form will be required to be submitted with your units recharter paperwork.  This is required for all registered volunteer leaders.  

 

If you choose to decline the background check, or if you do not complete the Additional Disclosures & Background Check Authorization form and return it to your unit leader or local council service center, your 2020 annual registration will not be processed.

 

We are truly grateful for your continued commitment to keeping youth safe and for helping them learn, grow, and thrive through Scouting programs.
